Clinton at the George W. Bush Library

Liberals were all upset about the pu$$y grab. But said jack-shit when Bill got a BJ in the oval office. 

Cigar anyone?

MSM spin on scandals

One of these two talked to the Russians to get dirt on their opponent. 

The other sold uranium to them.

Now sit back and imagine the NYT's broke a story junior was responsible for the sale of U.S. uranium to Russia. They, as they're saying now, would call it an act of treason and they would be right. But scratch Donald Jr and substitute Clinton and it becomes a non-event.

  

MSM spin on scandals

Trump Jr

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

If the Russian lawyer approached the Clinton campaign and said we have dirt on Trump. I'm sure their response would have been...Oh please.. don't try to give us any dirt on Donald J. Trump we would never sink that low we have high ethical standards.

 Junior's story is a blockbuster for the MSM. Meanwhile, Killary's email scandal, the unlawful involvement of Barry, Lynch, and Bill, trying to 'fix' the guilty is tantamount to rigging an election. Of course, that is swept under the rug.

Trump will never be accepted by the left as president. First, they tried to kill him off with a recall vote. It didn't work. Then the Electoral College was attacked because Killary won the popular vote. Boxer even called for putting an end to the "antiquated" Electoral College. That didn't work either. So now they put their saddle on a horse called Russian Collusion and if it wasn't that it would be...with all Trump's money in the highest position in the land that is definitely a conflict of interest and he should be impeached.  

Just kidding they already said that.

Selfie-taking monkey and his PETA lawyers head to appeals court in battle over copyright of photograph he took of himself

I’m surprised the ALCU (another liberal dog group) didn’t take the case. The reason PETA needs the money is Naruto already ordered a Ferrari J50.

• A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco heard the bizarre case on Wednesday; a judge ruled against Naruto last year
• Naruto is a free-living crested macaque who snapped selfies with an unattended camera belonging to British nature photographer David Slater in 2011
• Slater published a book with the company Blurb that included Naruto's selfies
• PETA sued on Naruto's behalf, claiming the monkey was the copyright owner
• Slater's company holds the British copyright for the photos, and he says it should be honored worldwide
• Judge ruled against Naruto last year, saying copyright didn't extend to animals unless Congress wanted to change that

Can a monkey own the copyright to its own selfies? 

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco heard the bizarre case on Wednesday after a judge ruled against the monkey Naruto last year. 

Naruto is a free-living crested macaque who snapped selfies with an unattended camera belonging to British nature photographer David Slater in Sulawesi, Indonesia, in 2011.

After Slater published a book with the San Francisco-based company Blurb that included Naruto's selfies, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) filed a lawsuit on the monkey's behalf, claiming it was the rightful copyright owner.

A three-judge panel appeared puzzled by PETA's role in the case, asking the group's attorney why it should be allowed to represent the monkey's interests. 

Attorney David Schwarz said the question had not been raised in court previously, and he urged the panel to define authorship for copyright purposes. 

After the hearing, the animal rights organization said it wants to administer all proceeds from the photos to benefit the monkey, protect monkey habitats and help people study the species. 

'PETA is clearly representing Naruto's best interests,' according to the group's general counsel Jeff Kerr.

Slater's company holds the British copyright for the photos, and he says it should be honored worldwide.

In fact, Slater isn't even sure Naruto is the monkey in the disputed photograph. He told the Guardian: 'I know for a fact that [the monkey in the photograph] is a female and it’s the wrong age.

'I’m bewildered at the American court system. Surely it matters that the right monkey is suing me.'

He added that his sweat and perseverance went into getting the monkeys to look directly into the camera when the pressed the shutter. 

Slater is now struggling financially and told the Guardian he is considering dog walking to make ends meet.

Angela Dunning, attorney for Blurb, said the self-publishing company was confident it would prevail but wondered at the possibility if it did not.

'Where does it end? If a monkey can sue for copyright infringement, what else can a monkey do?' she said.

Slater's company holds the British copyright for the photos, and he says it should be honored worldwide (pictured, attorneys for Slater and the company Blurb outside court on Wednesday)

Dunning said Naruto can't hold copyright in part because he cannot grant permission to others to use his photos and can't benefit financially from the pictures. 

The monkey, she said, is 'blissfully unaware' of what's happening in court.

Outlets including Wikipedia claim no one owns the copyrights, and that the photo exists in the public domain. 

The judges did not issue a ruling Wednesday. 

A federal judge ruled against the monkey in 2016, saying there was no indication that Congress intended to extend copyright protection to animals. 

David Post, a legal scholar who is regarded as an expert in intellectual property law, acknowledged in the Washington Post last year that the case was 'ridiculous'.

But he added: 'PETA’s claim that the monkey owns the copyright to the photo touches on some pretty intriguing copyright issues that, in an age of robots and machine creation, are likely to have some wider significance down the road.'

Former AG Holder hears 'echoes' of Watergate; warns audience not to 'curl up' in fetal position

Almost had to laugh when I read this. Run for president in 2020! 

Look who’s talking about… “integrity… Duty. Honor. Country.” 

And then there's this:

"Up to now, I have been more behind-the-scenes,” Holder told Yahoo News. “But that’s about to change. I have a certain status as the former attorney general..." He sure as hell got that right!

He became the only cabinet member in U.S. history to be held in contempt of Congress for lying his ass off during the Fast and Furious investigation in which two border patrol agents were killed. Holder's counterpart in the WH used Executive Privilege to cover up his crime which is a crime onto itself. 

Holder also lied under oath when confronted with the James Rosen wiretapping incident and looked the other way when the Black Panther voter intimidation took place. Of course, the inept Republicans did nothing. I take that back. They always talk a great game.

------------------------------

Eric Holder, the former attorney general under President Obama, reportedly told an audience of liberal lawyers in San Francisco that he hears “disturbing echoes’ of Watergate in current White House issues, and told the crowd of mostly liberal lawyers to continue to fight.

“You can’t just curl up in a fetal position,” Holder told the 800 lawyers at a hotel, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. He said there is “fighting to be done, there are lawsuits to be brought…you can never underestimate the power of the American people.”

The event was a fundraiser for Legal Aid At Work, a non-profit that represents low-income workers in California. The director, Joan Graff, told the paper that Holder was selected as the keynote speaker because the group has “grave concerns” about the rule of law with President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions in power.

This is not the first time that Holder commented on the current political climate that includes investigations into allegations that Russia colluded with officials from the Trump campaign.

Shortly after Trump announced his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, Holder sent out a tweet at 3:17 a.m.: “To the career men & women at DOJ/FBI: your actions and integrity will be unfairly questioned. Be prepared, be strong. Duty. Honor. Country.”

Last month, Yahoo News reported that Holder was considering a 2020 presidential run. The report said that Holder had intentions of becoming “more visible”

"Up to now, I have been more behind-the-scenes,” Holder told Yahoo News. “But that’s about to change. I have a certain status as the former attorney general. … So I want to use whatever skills I have, whatever notoriety I have, to be effective in opposing things that are, at the end of the day, just bad for the country.”

Holder gave the Yahoo interview shortly after helping to promote a new California bill that could extend ‘sanctuary’ policies toward illegal immigrants statewide.
